I can't not remember these things that are memories
every piece adds to my recipe
of a legacy even though i left her she
did all the real leaving in the centrepiece
still i ask myself, if its meant to be
and deep down, i hope that eventually
ill be fine, one day then be free
but lana always gets an extra lead ahead of me
and it gets to me deeper than you know
like an enemy leaving all the lows
but when i look at the past i see the positives
when i was shook and irrationally lost within
shits confusing, need a new labotomist
this empty spot within has gotten big
but i cant let it take me to the bottom with
i gotta look up, reach for the oxygen
here i am, trying to retract the bad
sounding soft as a matress pad
my life isnt made to attract a mass
i just wanna smile, and have a laugh
believe that, even though it sounds like a joke
i guess thats how it'll go
i guess i cant be so proud i suppose
if i can't learn how to be down with the woes
yeah, and it sounds good to go
but the real problem is that im drowning in hope
round as a hole, found in the soul
the sourest outcome accounts for my goals
and i dont know, am i negative or positive
pessimist or optimist, i am where the problem is
so i need to juggle it
before i double it cause i've had enough of it
so i accept my vacant cell, and don't stress the face that fell
i learned how to embrace myself
this act i knew she wouldnt take it well
i said its nice and its good to pretend
but its not enough so we couldnt be friends
I wish i could help with all the confusion
but til you make a move its all an illusion
not the best of things, but she respected it
got to entering defeated sentences
an ultimatum Id risk in the purpose
just for her to give me the verdict
so if it all falls, i wont go fast
i will walk on, on my own path
revamp is free no more Lana please
but i'll keep stepping where i can be seen
